INSTALLATION
CHOOSING THE MOUNTING LOCATION
The first step in mounting the clock ra- dio is choosing a location that allows full movement of the clock radio on the mounting bracket. This is how much clearance you need on each side of the bracket:

•The area directly below the clock radio is not used for cooking or for appliances that generate heat or steam.
•The work area near the clock radio allows room for additional appliances to be connected to the clock radio’s appliance outlet.
For easy operation and visibility, mount the clock radio at or near the front edge of the cabinet. Hold the clock radio in several locations to de- termine the best place to mount it.
When choosing the clock radio’s mounting location, be sure that:
MOUNTING THE BRACKET
•The cabinet bottom is strong enough to hold the weight of the clock radio.
•The space on each side of the clock radio allows room to reach the clock radio’s knobs and the appliance outlet.
•The space below the clock radio’s speaker (located on the bottom of the clock radio) is enough to allow the sound to be heard.
•An electrical outlet is within reach of the power cord. The power cord must be extended enough to serve as an antenna for FM recep- tion and taut enough to prevent other appliances from becoming tangled in the cord. (Do not use an extension cord.)
1.Empty the bottom shelf of the selected cabinet.
2.Clean the underside of the cabinet thoroughly.
3.Measure the cabinet’s overhang (if any). If the overhang hinders your view of the clock radio, insert a wood block (with thickness that equals the length of the overhang) between the cabinet and the clock radio to compensate for the over- lap between the top of the clock radio and the bottom of the cabi- net.
